Animals have no choice in deciding wheather they want to give birth or not. I guess the religious, backward freaks (plenty in the government) in this country want to go back in time and treat us like property/animals like they do in the middle east. Maybe they want to stone us, as well. Amazing. I can't even begin to tell you how right you are. People are lazy. I hope they realize your message and how important it is to stand up and be a part of the fight for our rights. Get involved, people. Spread the word! This is scary what's happening. I don't want to live in the dark ages. This is America. Nobody has the right to my body. Let those people get busy with the orphans and millions of unwanted children out there. I would rather die then have somebody RAPE my mind, my body and the choice about the rest of my life. Billions of dollars are spent on bullshit, why don't they spend more money on creating better birthcontrol if they don't like abortion. I want to puke.

Many of those who fight to save someone else's unwanted fetus fight just as hard to kill a living, breathing, thinking, AWARE, human being.EBhttp://www.livejournal.com/users/elizabethfordnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1138067266272384752006-01-23T19:47:00.000-06:002006-01-23T19:47:00.000-06:00"Or are you so blessed by freedom that you can’t w..."Or are you so blessed by freedom that you can’t work up the fucking passion to defend it?"<BR/><BR/>So prolific.

I wish that those who were vocal in the public and political arenas were people who THOUGHT. Not people who had all of their thinking done for them (a.k.a. religious right). I mean, how easy would life be if all of your questions were answered with such confidence that all other answers seemed wrong? How easy would it be to be told what to do and think and say.

I am pro choice which means that I believe that each woman knows what is right for her and her life.<BR/>Also if you are pro choice what is you stand on child support? For me it is simple you can't be pro choice and pro child support.

It was a rough road leading up to the passage of Roe v. Wade. Although both Dr. Hardin was, and I am, lifelong (Caucasian) Republicans, I am SOLIDLY in your camp on this issue. Furthermore, I am a regular reader of Angry Black Bitch, and enjoy your zany, petulant tongue.Pony Storm's Ridehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08973025857252657412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1137965366720529102006-01-22T15:29:00.000-06:002006-01-22T15:29:00.000-06:00I'm with you, too.
